Dragonflies
She allowed him to pluck her heartstrings
Tentatively, as she was ashamed
Of their novelty and youth,
Untainted, undisturbed, uncorrupted
He wound his fingers like wires
Along the glistening strands of indecision
Fragile and apprehensive, vague as memory
He tinkered with the idea of promise
Easiest to snap, to fracture
And spread like poison
So echoed a faint breath of anticipation
Quivering, threatening,
But the harmonic continued to ring
As an affection lost to a whispering wind
Would flutter on stolen wings
Like dragonflies
Humming a long forgotten tune
Of pure bliss
The wire lost itself to the gears of evolution
And
